... for this summer's hair- whether it's short or long, dyed or not; Redken's Color Extend Sun really is an investment worth spending money on! Oh yes; it works also on natural (read; not colored) hair! You don't have to invest in the whole range, you can pick and choose! It really has been helpful to protect my mane while spending a couple of weeks on Bali, so I would really recommend this line for you guys!
I'll try to guide you through each and one of the products, and please, don't hesitate to question me, if there's anything you're wondering about;
After-Sun Shampoo;
If you've been all day at the beach, or the poolside, and your hair really feel both sticky, tangling, knotty and what not; this mild, moisturising, deep-cleansing shampoo really will help you literally wash your summer-worries away!
How to; rinse hair, run your hands over your head so you take off excess moisture, take a small amount, (a norwegian 5 kr) and massage gently through your entire hair. Rinse and repeat. If there's a lot of mineral residue, sometimes you will need to wash through 3 times, but don't worry! This shampoo won't dehydrate your hair! Gently blot your hair dry, and follow with the after-sun mask:)
After-Sun Mask;
This r-e-a-l-l-y is THE recovery mask after being in the sun, and bathing all day! I use it every time I've washed my hair and being exposed for either a lot of sun, sea salt or spending time in the pool!
How to; after shampooing, and a gentle rub of my towel, I apply a generous amount throughout my entire hair, and I gently massage it towards my scalp without overdoing it. You can leave for 5-15 minutes, but I rarely stress that; I just walk around with it for a while -it's your holiday, so why rush it?! ;) Rinse and dry as desired.
As for summer, we all like to spend time out in the sun, and we like to be free -why worry? Still, a lot of us is struggling with our hair when we get to this time of year. We're all so focused on using sunscreen on our skin, but did you know your hair actually needs it too? Don't worry, even here, Redken got you covered;
Take Cover SPF 25
If I asked you; Would you be interested in a product that will both nourish your hair, give it some body and at the same time protect your scalp from sunburn? Would you? I would definately say yes to that! Redken's Take Cover SPF 25 has all of these things! And it's so concentrated, I really feel that I've got a lot of product in a small container! How much you ask me? Have a try! It's better to reapply a small amount a couple of times rather than washing your hair all over again! :P You could use this both on wet and dry hair, just remember to really massage it into your scalp, so that we got you covered!;)
I guess a couple of you who read this who love to swim, have been wondering about whether there are protection against pool- and saltwater? Even here, there are really good solutions to you;
Waterwear
Is Redken's swimsuit in a tube! It's a water resistant easy-to-apply cream that can be both applied on wet and dry hair. Even though the feel of your hair is natural, it will protect your hair when in water, as for the chlorine and salt to not damage, and to easily be shampooed away. Reapply as needed, and don't forget to bring this with you! I promise; it's really easy to use -you only need to put it in, then you're free to swim, surf duck-dive and whatever! ;)
HAPPY SUMMER FOLKS!
